Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings – High Load Capacity and Misalignment Tolerance

Spherical roller thrust bearings feature specially designed raceways that house asymmetrical rollers. These rollers have optimal conformity with the raceways, ensuring even load distribution along their length. This design enables them to handle heavy axial loads in one direction, significant radial loads, and relatively high speeds.

A key advantage of spherical roller thrust bearings is their ability to self-align, compensating for shaft misalignment caused by deflection. The bearing design allows for effective load transmission at an angle to the bearing axis, enhancing performance in demanding applications.

Key Benefits:

• High axial and radial load capacity.
• Tolerates misalignment, ideal for shafts with deflection.
• Suitable for high-speed operations.

Applications:
These bearings are widely used in industries such as mining, heavy machinery, and automotive, where high load-bearing and alignment tolerance are crucial.
